It must be so, coming from the leading racist in the Senate.

In the letter to the White House, ***ings says the documents he’s requested are “even more critical” given new information obtained from the Office of Government Ethics, an executive branch agency, “that describe false information provided by the lawyers representing President Trump.”

Those documents, ***ings writes, include notes taken by OGE officials accounting for what they described as the “evolving stories” provided by both Trump’s personal attorney and White House lawyers about whether Trump directed Cohen to make the payments and if he reimbursed him for them. Initially, OGE officials were told Trump never owed Cohen any money, but that changed after Rudy Giuliani revealed in a television interview that Trump had made payments to Cohen as part of a “retainer” agreement.

“It now appears that Trump’s other attorneys �" at the White House and in private practice �" may have provided false information about these payments to federal officials,” ***ings said in a statement. “This raises significant questions about why some of trumps closest advisers made these false claims and the extent to which they too were acting at the direction of, or in coordination with, trump.”
